@ soren7550 def take a wack at it , my friend made his in a week and they seriously came out beautiful , the fabric was crazy expensive though it was actually cheaper to buy convincing mage robes off amazon then adding to it with stuff you pick up in a fabric store , he used wool , so it was highly expensive but very realistic , also very heavy the sash around his neck is some sort of silk and he picked out all sorts of gold trimmings ... i have to say for his very first time using a sewing machine , no mannequin and just winging the project it came out really good! if you end up doing something similar def contact me i would love to see the progress
@The Heik thank you so much! when i put blood on others it tends to look better i usually take a long paint brush .. dip the brush ... use my hand as a stopper and slam the brush into my hand repeatedly to get the spray of blood effect .... i did not have a friend on hand that could figure this out for me ((and we already had to pay an extra 100$ for the great hotel bathroom massacre of pax)) so i went for the i just crawled out of a taun taun look instead ...hahah (honestly if i freshly killed something i would roll in it ...then eat it , that is just me ) i get a lot of mixed reviews as far as the white contacts go , a lot of my friends like them with the over all look , others think it is too creepy and weird .... i like wearing them to conventions because when i look more human guys seem to get grabbier .. when i look gross they will just get a picture of me at a distance ... i had purchased a few different contacts i picked up for this project , two different pairs of circle lenses , a pair of dark green that i am wearing in some of the flicker photos .... i kinda cycle through all of them get photos with different looks each time , keeps things interesting .... since the weather has been nice and i keep stumbling upon really beautiful landscapes i might go for another photo run with me and my friend ... ill do his bosmer makeup once again ... get some cool photos and ill go for a more tame dragonborn look so people can stop throwing up in their mouths a little , thank you so much for the input :> as well as the complements
